How the inflation calculator works
Inflation erodes purchasing power over time. This calculator compounds an annual inflation rate to show what an amount will be worth in the future.
Future Cost = Amount × (1 + r)t
- r — annual inflation rate (as a decimal)
- t — number of years
Example: $1,000 today at 3% annual inflation would need to be $1,344 in 10 years to maintain the same purchasing power.
Use it to: plan for future expenses, adjust budgets, or understand how inflation affects your savings and investments over time.
